Composer's notes: "This duet is based on the well-known American folk tune, "Shenandoah", at the request of Ray and Beth Chenault. I conceived the work as an opportunity to explore the full-sounding, lush tonalities of the organ, which are available to an even-greater extent when played by two people. Rhythmic variety and playfulness pervade the piece throughout, after its straightforward opening, and combine with jazz-inspired chords and figurations. As the composition of the piece was in progress, several tributes to American composers of the last century appeared on the page, such as Gershwin, Bernstein and Mancini, and melodic fragments from the songs "Somewhere", "Strangers in the Night", and especially "Moon River" are in evidence. The Chenaults premiered "Shenandoah" at the Cathedral of the Incarnation, Garden City, NY, September, 1995."
